Ingredients:
Instructions:
- In a bowl, combine the fish chunks with salt and turmeric powder. Mix well and set aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.
- Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and continue to sauté for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Add the chopped tomatoes to the pan. Cook until the tomatoes soften and break down, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cinnamon stick, chili powder, cardamom, paprika, and dried coriander to the pan. Stir well and cook the spices for about 2-3 minutes, allowing them to bloom and release their flavors.
- Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Gently add the marinated fish chunks into the pan. Ensure that the fish is submerged in the curry sauce.
- Simmer the fish in the sauce for about 10-12 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Stir in the lime juice and let the curry cook for another 2 minutes.
- Remove the cinnamon stick before serving.
- Serve the Sri Lankan Fish Curry hot over steamed rice or with flatbread.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh white fish and cut it into evenly sized pieces.
- Marinating the fish with salt and turmeric before cooking enhances the taste and helps tenderize it.
- To ensure a creamy texture, use full-fat coconut milk.
- Adjust the amount of chili powder to match your spice tolerance.
- Fresh lime juice added at the end of cooking enhances the tanginess and gives the dish a refreshing finish.
This Sri Lankan Fish Curry is a perfect blend of spices and creamy coconut milk that guarantees a delicious and satisfying meal. Serve it with steamed rice or flatbread to soak up all the wonderful flavors. Enjoy this quick and easy recipe for a taste of Sri Lanka!
